I have a 2011 tC with about 29K miles, cement. I'm starting to actually do some performance upgrades and cosmetic upgrades. I didn't do much to it because I used to drive a whole lot and still was under warranty. But since she's just getting warmed up, figured it was time. Here's some photos I took of my car around town and campus. At The University of North Texas and around the Denton town square.

Feel free to offer suggestions on stuff I should do.

I'm not going to lower my car, because the roads in Denton are terrible, patched and just terrible. I'd ruin my car.

haha a lot of ppl didnt want to lower their cars because they thought they would scrape but once you actually lower it you'll see that even with 1" drop there is plenty of clearance....
past 1" you just have to pay more attention to the road

I was super against lowering the car and now Im pushing 2" drop.....

I think yours looks good, ^ however mentioned above I cant lower my car due to snow. We get inches at a time, this winter I was already plowing snow with my front end stock, any lower and I really would be plowing and I just didnt want that. lol,

If you saw the roads in Denton, you'd understand. It's a very old city, torn up, patched, just can't do it. If I lived in Houston still I'd lower it.

New intake.

Any issues throwing codes?. Let me know if you notice a MPG decrease or increase. I may get an intake if it increases your mpg (mine blows). Looks good in the engine bay though.

As long as the MAF and the sensor connected to the hose are hooked up, you should have no problem whatsoever with throwing codes. As far as MPG, I have t really checked. I average 24.6 before, and now I'm down to 20.5 but I've been driving really hard to test the intake. Going on a trip this weekend, I'll let you know if I get any difference in MPG. It has a delicious roar and I notice my car just feels better, much quicker on the response. Not sure it has an HP increase, but the car definitely breathes & reacts better.

I saw an improvement of 5 MPG on my trip to Houston. 300 miles, some traffic. Got 31.9 MPG. Normally got 26.5/27 on the trip.
